This documentary is a compillation of all parts of our series on the career of a roman legionary. This begins with a review of how one joined the Roman army in the first place, including requirements and inspections. We then join a Roman legionary to see what legionary training was like in a Roman army boot camp. We next trace the progress of pay and promotion over the course of a soldier's career. This includes a huge number of awards and medals. And finally we conclude with the retirement of a Roman soldier. (Check out our friends @ImperiumRomanumYT)
